Healthcare that speaks
your language
MediBY was built in Bayelsa with one question in mind: why should getting quality healthcare in Nigeria require fluent English, a working car, and hours of waiting? It shouldn’t. So we built the alternative.
Nigeria has doctors.
The system keeps them apart from patients.
Nigeria has one doctor for every 2,500 people. The World Health Organization recommends one per 600. But the crisis isn’t just numbers — it’s access. Patients in Yenagoa don’t know which hospitals have availability today. Rural communities have no way to triage without driving hours to a clinic. And when a patient speaks Ijaw, the booking form speaks only English.
The result: preventable conditions become emergencies. Hospitals sit half-empty while patients queue at the wrong facility. Doctors have no visibility into who needs them most.
Connect every Nigerian to the right care — in their own language, at the right time.
MediBY is Nigeria’s AI-powered healthcare platform, built in Bayelsa State. We combine multilingual AI triage — in Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Ijaw, and Pidgin — with real-time hospital booking, HD video consultations, and a digital health identity (your MediBY ID) that follows you across every provider.
We are more than a telemedicine company. Video, phone, and in-person consultations, AI triage, and a downloadable doctor's report after every visit are all part of what we do — but MediBY is the infrastructure underneath all of it: one health identity that follows you across every hospital and doctor you see, built to work for the smartphone owner and the USSD user alike.
MediBY started in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, where we saw first-hand how far people travel and how long they wait for a consultation with a real specialist. Today, patients across Bayelsa can search our directory of local hospitals and specialists, book a video, phone, or in-person consultation in the language they're most comfortable in, and pay securely — without leaving their community. As we grow into other states, Bayelsa stays where our roots are, and where we still test everything first.
From symptom to consultation
in four steps
Describe your symptoms
Type or speak in your language. Our AI — trained on Nigerian disease patterns — gives you an instant clinical assessment and tells you how urgent your situation is.
Get matched to the right care
Based on your triage, we recommend the right doctor or hospital near you — with real-time availability, transparent pricing, and no hidden fees.
Book in seconds
Choose your slot, pay securely via Paystack, and receive instant confirmation by email and SMS. Your booking is protected — cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before.
Consult in-person or by video
Join your HD video consultation from anywhere or walk into your booked hospital. The doctor already has your AI triage summary — no repeating yourself.
The principles we build on
Safety first
Every AI response is grounded in WHO ICD-11 clinical data and Nigeria-specific disease context — malaria, typhoid, sickle cell, waterborne diseases. We never guess.
Speed matters
We use Groq LPU hardware — the fastest AI inference available — because a patient in Bayelsa on 3G should not wait 5 seconds for a health answer. Sub-second responses, always.
Every Nigerian
Our AI speaks Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Ijaw, and Pidgin — with voice input. USSD triage means even patients without smartphones can access AI-quality guidance.
Private by design
Health data is AES-256-GCM encrypted at the field level. We maintain a full NDPA 2023 audit log. You own your data — and can request its deletion at any time.
Fair pricing
Free to start, no credit card required. We earn a small commission on bookings — aligning our success with yours. Hospitals pay a flat annual subscription, not per-patient fees.
Built for scale
Modular architecture designed to grow from our first hospital to millions of patients. The infrastructure scales; the mission doesn't change.
Built with compliance & trust at every layer
Born in Bayelsa.
Built for all of Nigeria.
MediBY started with a simple observation: people in Bayelsa State — a state of rivers, creeks, and communities that don’t always appear on city maps — often have to travel for hours to reach a doctor for conditions that could have been triaged at home. Waterborne diseases, maternal complications, and chronic conditions go unmanaged not because care doesn’t exist, but because the connection between patient and care is broken.
We built MediBY to fix that connection. Starting with Bayelsa’s hospitals and the languages people actually speak — Ijaw, Pidgin, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa — and expanding across Nigeria as the platform proves itself with real patients and real outcomes.
Our technical decisions reflect the same thinking. We chose Groq over OpenAI because a sub-second AI response is the difference between a useful tool and an abandoned one on a 3G connection. We built USSD triage because not everyone has a smartphone. We designed for millions of users from day one, so we never have to rebuild when we get there.
